Thanks for your question. We actually had a patient like you in our office this month with a jaw implant requesting skin tightening along the jaw line. For her, we felt like the most appropriate treatment was a series of bulk radio frequency heating skin treatment called Pelleve. It is completely non-invasive and works by gently heating the treatment are to the target temperature for 4-5 minutes. The heat causes some of the existing collagen to collapse, stimulating your body's response to produce more collagen. New collagen production takes 60-120 to ramp up, but will last another 10-15 years.Getting back to you, bulk heating should not be problem and won't cause any damage. Worst case would be the heat temporarily transfers to the metal and it becomes uncomfortable. If you can tolerate treating the area, continue. Otherwise, ask the technician to move on to another spot or discontinue the treatment. You really won't know until try, but I can't see it causing any damage. Our patient was able to complete the treatment without any discomfort. I hope this helps.
